Who trains the trainers?

UntitledOn Tuesday,  I was invited along to Staffordshire University to take part in some tests called V02 MAX tests.  The test was part physiological, and part psychological – to see if our body’s physiology and mental ability to cope under the stress of high intensity running was helped out by listening to music.  This week I did the test without music.  Next week it will swap over!

The test involved me warming up on a treadmill, and then being linked up to heart rate monitors and oxygen supplies.  I was then started off on the treadmill and the speed was increased by 1 kph every 30 seconds.  Every time the speed was increased, I was asked to point to a number on a chart (a Borg scale) that was relevant to how I was feeling, with 1 being no exertion, and 20 being completely exhausted.

Gym session

Hi Stoke F.I.T.,

Gregg and I have both been for a run and have both decided it’s too dangerous to take anybody out in, we won’t risk anybody getting injured.

As always, in true Stoke F.I.T. style, we have a back up plan!!

We have hired out the gym at New Horizons Leisure complex, Uplands Avenue, Chell, ST6 6JT from 1700 – 1800.  We will be doing running activities, bleep test, team bleep test, speed work and other great stuff.  Bring £1.50 and a smile!

Before I head off out, I want to leave you with this – what we do for you every Monday and Wednesday is free to you, what we do on a Friday we have to cover the costs for by charging you. Gregg and I have to cover a lot of cost from our own pocket as well. We ultimately want it to be free for you all, but for that to happen we need loads more people turning up and taking part. Once that happens we will be more attractive to investors and sponsors. Read More…
